Revision Colors
Revision Colors
SceneItAll uses the industry-standard revision color system to track script drafts. This system has been used in film and television production for decades to quickly identify which version of a script someone is looking at.
The Standard Order
| Order | Color | Hex Code | Typical Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | White | #BDBDBD | Original draft (first version) |
| 2nd | Blue | #42A5F5 | First revision |
| 3rd | Pink | #EC407A | Second revision |
| 4th | Yellow | #FFCA28 | Third revision |
| 5th | Green | #66BB6A | Fourth revision |
| 6th | Goldenrod | #DAA520 | Fifth revision |
| 7th | Buff | #D2B48C | Sixth revision |
| 8th | Salmon | #FA8072 | Seventh revision |
| 9th | Cherry | #DE3163 | Eighth revision |
| 10th | Tan | #C4A882 | Ninth revision |
| 11th | Gray | #9E9E9E | Tenth revision |
After Gray, the cycle restarts. The second cycle is sometimes called “Double White,” “Double Blue,” and so on.
How Colors Are Used in SceneItAll
- Upload screen — When uploading a script, you select a revision color from a dropdown. Each option shows the color name with a colored dot.
- Version pill — In the script viewer header, the current revision’s color label is displayed. Click to see all revisions.
- Episode panel — Revisions listed under episodes show their color for quick identification.
Why Colors Matter
On a physical production:
- White pages are the original script.
- When revisions are distributed, only the changed pages are printed on colored paper and inserted into the script binder.
- This way, anyone can flip through their binder and immediately see which pages have been updated and from which revision.
SceneItAll preserves this convention digitally so everyone on your team speaks the same language about which draft they’re referencing.
